shortening; beat in remaining flour. cover with
plastic wrap and chill overnight. Roll out on floured
board to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 2 1/2" squares. Deep
fry at 360F 2-3 minutes until lightly browned on each
side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle heavily with
powdered sugar. Serve hot with cafe au lait. Note:
